Science immersion finishes with our dads sharing their favourite experiments.
Lemon, copper and zinc makes electricity.
Siphoning
Watch the candle!
As another term flies by we once again end on a high note with some amazing ‘Science.’ Yesterday it was cheese making and today it was dad’s carrying out some of their favourite experiments.
John helped us yesterday to make cheese which will rest and mature over the holiday break to be sampled next term. Steve had eggs being sucked into ‘old fashioned’ milk bottles, card sucked onto an upside down glass of water, candles sitting in water with a glass put over top. The candle burnt out but then the water level in the glass began to rise!! Nokome showed how lemons, copper wire and a nail coated with zinc created electricity enough to make a bulb light up. Hussein showed us how gravity worked by siphoning water from one container to another.
We also looked at the fungus and bacteria that had grown in the agar dishes we created at Kaikoura High School with Mrs Fissenden. What a way to end the term!
Happy holidays to you all, be safe and see you on 12 October.
